I usually ignore the critics because I know I know ten times as much as them about cars and I can't possibly respect an ignorant opinion. That's like if a blind man told me my shirt was ugly and I went and changed it because of his opinion.


Here's one example I witnessed today...


This was taken from a forum I use a lot, my350z.com, which is a community for Nissan 350Z owners.





I can't get over the utter stupidity and ignorance displayed here. I don't even need to explain why.

This isn't the first example I've seen.


Do you guys get crap also? From what specific groups do you hear it from? How do you respond? BMW communities have never spoken a word other than to compliment me.


This type of ignorance actually upsets me.

Thanks for letting me rant, guys.
haven't heard that kind of krap ... yet. i guess i'll try to sum that conversation up by telling them 'every car on the road will get from point a to b, it's our egos & the sparkle of the car that get in the way' because it really doesn't matter?!?!? we all got what we wanted and from what i've mostly read here, we're all happy.
